Good morning,
While try to use the wiki these days I run into several issues.
As far as I understand the en.o.o is about to go away. So I need to add new stuff
to wiki.o.o, right ?
My problem starts that I don't find my pages anymore. I still need en.o.o just
to find the pages, because I don't find anything usefull via the wiki.o.o search
due to the new layout.
Try to search for "Build Service" or "Build Service Concepts". Both works great in
en.o.o wiki, but wiki.o.o search does not deliver a single entry which makes sense to me
due to the new layout.
Another problem is that the Concept page works via category lists now.
This is less ovious to use and frankly, I consider that these were pages which I and other
wiki novice users do maintain. This does increase the hurdle for us to add/modify concept
pages.
Frankly, I stopped working on the wiki pages since wiki.o.o exists, since I lost completly
the overview what is going on. But since the wiki is our main documentation point this is no
longer a solution for us.
I need also to know which links will break when wiki.o.o will become the default one.
Will en.o.o go away ? Will wiki.o.o get moved ?
If something like this happens will break all our links in our OBS products.
Please tell if you think we missuse wiki/en.opensuse.org for OBS (actually we plan to
add way better integrated help links, which is currently blocked by the unknown state of
the wiki). In that case we need to setup our own wiki, where we can rely on. But that
would be a not wanted extra effort for us.
thanks

PS: sorry if I sound a bit negative, but it really blocks OBS release atm.
PPS: The new pages in wiki.o.o look really much better then the old ones. So what
about just move these pages to en.o.o ?
This would keep the search working and in case you still want to rename a page,
you can use the "move" functionality, so we avoid broken links.
